Australian employers instigating change…
Seeking to accelerate improvements for women in Australia, Deborah Garlick and Grace Molloy joined forces to launch Menopause Friendly Australia.
MFA benefited from a wealth of UK experience in bringing best practice support, tried and tested in the UK to Australia. By analysing what had been most helpful in raising awareness in the UK, MFA promptly brought evidence-based information that is now informing workplace change in Australia.
Workplaces in a variety of industries have benefited from partnering with MFA to launch their menopause friendly initiatives, from ASX 10 companies to purpose driven charities.
We are delighted to be working collaboratively to deliver menopause resources that are globally consistent and locally relevant.
Committed to being menopause friendly
Employers in Australia
Menopause Friendly Australia’s call to action to support people through menopause at work has been heard loud and clear.
Workplaces understand that providing awareness, training and information to help people thrive through menopause is not just good for individuals, it also makes good business sense.
With productivity and gender equality high on the agenda for corporate Australia, being menopause friendly is fast becoming business critical for all employers.
